Hey everyone, it's been a while. You've probably noticed a lack of stories if you were a fan of me before. If you're a new fan, welcome and you're lucky you don't have to read my stories. Looking back on them, they were poor. I will not be republishing any of my previous stories, nor will I be rewriting them.

This is something I've been considering for a very long time and after looking back, I can see that my stories were poorly written, out of character and not at all realistic when it came to how people act.

I will still be writing. I will be writing stories for other fandoms, I won't just be sticking to Bleach this time.

I'm really sorry if you enjoyed my stories. But, to me, they were childish and not believable.

I'd also like to admit that Valerie isn't my real name. It is, however, the name I'll be writing under. I really like the name Valerie and when I began writing I didn't want to use my real name and I still don't want to. So, I will still write using this alias.

I want to make it very clear one more time that, no matter what, NONE of my stories will be republished or rewritten. I didn't like their plots, there were too many flaws, etc.

I don't know when my 'first' story will be published. Probably not for a while, though. I want to make sure I know where I'm going with a story and I want to know that the characters are believable and in-character.

I really want to apologise to fans of my stories that have been there from the beginning. You have been amazing and, if any of you still give a damn, I'm sorry I took the stories down. Hopefully you all understand.

Here's a few facts about me (there may be spoilers for books, series, cartoon, etc.)

1.) I am a vegetarian.

2.) She is nowhere near my favourite character, but I find Monica from The Fault in Our Stars a rather interesting character because she's so real. That is the genuine reaction some people would have to her situation. To be honest, I really hate her for hurting Isaac so badly, but if someone who had never been affected by cancer before had that happen, they might think 'Time to leg it.'

3.) I kind of wanted to audition for Tris in the Divergent movie.

4.) I'd like to be an author when I'm older, somewhere between John Green and Laini Taylor.

5.) I wish the epilogue for Mockingjay had been longer.

6.) I ship Fionna and Marshall Lee so badly.

7.) I absolutely loved Augustus' fangirl sort of reaction to An Imperial Affliction.

8.) I can count to at least twenty in five languages. Six, if you include sarcasm ;]

9.) I'm a bro.
